  2. So…..I’m in the process of creating my third clay model for a ventriloquist figure….I’m trying to do this as quickly and as inexpensive as possible…..is this something your going to offer, what is the cost, what are your image copy rights…this could change the world of ventriloquism…I plan on going on tour next year full time next year with non profit group and a non-bullying campaign. I know my new figure will be a hit…….how can I find out more about 3D printing….and cost…….molding and casting is soooooooo much work…..I decided to make my figures on my own because the only company I’ve found that produces them with a great look charges a small fortune and keeps the right to your mold…..problem for me…….I am very interested in this …can you please give me some more information.

    • We’re just a blog reporting on it, so we have no plans to offer the service. Finding someone to scan your clay and produce a printed version should be pretty easy locally. Shop around for price and comfort for things like copyright. Here’s a place in Chicago I’ve contracted personally in Chicago http://www.the3dprinterexperience.com if you strike out locally and are OK working at a distance. Expect to pay a couple hundred for a scan and a print of the typical dummy head I’m used to seeing. Here’s an entry from our “secret shopper” at that store https://printingddd.com/2013/09/09/chicago/.
